The technique of chiptunes with samples synthesized Sound Chips at runtime continued to be in demand even on machines with full sample playback capability; because the description of an gizmo takes much less field than a raw sample, these formats created very dwarf files, and because the parameters of synthesis could be varied over the course of a composition, they could contain deeper musical expression than a purely sample-based format. Also, even with purely sample-based formats, such as the MOD format, chip measure created by looping genuine small samples still could take up much less space.

A notable chiptune artist today is 8 Bit Weapon, who has completed chiptune bop construction projects for Disney, Cartoon Network (Europe), Microsoft, Nokia, Kraftwerk, Hash Society, Erasure and deadbeat even appeared live on national television via G4TV's Initiative of the Show.
